The Jews call themselves God's chosen people. If so, God has chosen wrong. For by their unspeakable cruelties to the Palestinians, Israelis have lost their halo or humanity. They are hated and despised everywhere. Everywhere, except in the American corridors of power. In Congress, the Senate and the White House, the silence is deafening.
This is the 21st century, and yet, our civilization stinks. Israeli soldiers are killing Palestinian children by the tens of thousands, using them as target practice, shooting them in the head and chest. A 14-year-old boy was shot and bled to death for 45 minutes. He had committed no crime. His only crime was being Palestinian. He is among 30 thousand children along with their mothers being slaughtered or starved to death. This is genocide. Speak no more about genocide in Xinjiang where the Muslim population has mushroomed while in Gaza, it is being systematically decimated.
Israeli soldiers know exactly what they are doing. They intentionally target Palestinian journalists who witness their war crimes, Gaza is the deadliest conflict for reporters in history, nearly 250 of them have been killed by Israeli bombs and bullets. This is calculated to silence them, to keep Israeli atrocities unreported.
Next on the hit list are the medical staff, first-aid workers, nurses and doctors who died when hospitals were indiscriminately bombed. Emergency doctors have been imprisoned to prevent them from saving lives. Over 1000 humanitarian aid workers have perished in three years in Gaza, now a virtual concentration camp. Palestinians are kept alive by food delivered through an unfixed tightly controlled checkpoint. Guess what happens next? The Israeli military are killing these poor truck drivers. Being a truck driver in Gaza is now one of the most dangerous jobs in the world. When he drives off in the morning, he may not return to his wife and children in the evening, even with prior clearance from Israeli authorities.
The Jews are ungrateful brutes. It was the Palestinians who took pity on them and took them in when no one else would give them a haven. But Netanyahu simply wants Palestinians to disappear from their own land, by exile or by execution. He will never permit a two-state solution.
In occupied Gaza, wearing a UN insignia is no protection. Quite the contrary, for that makes you an easy target. The Israelis have nothing but contempt for the UN agencies who try to keep the helpless Palestinians alive. Israel is free to torture, rape, maim, imprison and kill Palestinians at will, without fear of condemnation from the United States whose politicians are living in the back pockets of the almighty Zionist lobby. Their hypocrisy in enabling Israeli war crimes while grandstanding on global human rights violations churns your stomach.
Outside the US, Israel has no friends. The Jews have sharpened their expertise in killing spree from their Nazi torturers. They have now out-Nazied the Nazis in unimaginable cruelties to defenceless women and children. Worse, there is no solution in sight, The most powerful nation on earth is being played like a puppet by a tiny nation of 9 million. Loyalty to Israel now outranks loyalty to the US. America has been brought low by its Jewish lobby.
America, once a proud and noble nation, is now in cahoots with war criminals and child killers.. Self-serving politicians may mouth platitudes about life and liberty, but they have disqualified themselves as members of the human race. The killings won't stop until the last Palestinian is either buried or exiled. The UN and the rest of the world can only watch helplessly from the sidelines. Genocide in Gaza is never about ensuring the survival of Israel. It is about the extermination of its inconvenient neighbors.
The IDF or Israeli Defenses Forces have destroyed or damaged 94% of Gaza hospitals and primary healthcare facilities, 97% of schools, 90% of power plants and powerlines, with over 370,000 housing units rendered uninhabitable. The same goes for sewage plants, water treatment facilities, desalination plants, leaving Gazans with no clean water to drink, driving up infectious disease outbreaks. Gaza is now hell. If this is not genocide, what is?
God's chosen people? If this is God's choice, then God has gone AWOL. Satan is calling the shots, aided and abetted by powerful hypocrites. The jungle is a safer place. At least there, animals might kill each other for food, but never wholesale or for pleasure. Israel has extinguished our humanity, for in cruelty we are worse than animals.
